Background: Due to the progressive decline in β-cell function, it is often necessary to utilize multiple agents with complementary mechanisms of action to address various facets and achieve glycemic control. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of metformin/sitagliptin/pioglitazone (MSP) therapy vs. metformin/sitagliptin (MS) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Objective: To study the efficacy of topical esmolol for healing of uninfected DFUs.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase 3 clinical trial was conducted from December 26, 2018, to August 19, 2020, at 27 referral centers across India.
Background And Aims: Major complications of central neuraxial block (CNB) are rare and their incidence in India is not known. This information is essential for explaining risk and medico-legal concerns. The present multi-centre study in Maharashtra was conducted to provide insight into the characteristics of rare complications following this popular anaesthetic technique.

However, head-to-head comparison between different SGLT2 inhibitors is scarce. Therefore, the present study was aimed to analyze the effect of different SGLT2 inhibitors on glycemic control and body weight in Indian patients with T2DM.

Currently Teneligliptin is prescribed as a second or third add on to the standard treatment with other classes of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) to achieve targeted glycemic control in type 2 DM patients.
Methods: An open label, interventional, single arm, 12 weeks study was conducted on160 patients with type 2 DM at MGM Medical College, Aurangabad with Teneligliptin 20 mg once a day as add on to the ongoing standard treatment with other classes of OHAs.

Unlabelled: Gadag Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is atherosclerotic narrowing of coronary arteries that is often asymptomatic early in the course of the disease but may lead to stable or unstable angina, and/or myocardial infarction with the progressive thickening or plaque rupture of the wall of the coronary arteries. Ischemic heart disease has now become one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for more than 7.3 million deaths in 2008 alone.

Despite availability of various treatment modalities it is difficult to achieve the desired glycemic control in many patients. In such patients new class of anti-diabetic agent sodium-glucose co-transporter II (SGLT2) inhibitors has been approved by FDA.

This analysis evaluated changes in HbA1c and body weight in patients who were inadequately responding to maximum dose of three oral hypoglycemic agents and reluctant to take insulin therapy.
Methods: In this open label interventional single arm study, patients aged 18 to 65 years (N=118) received Canagliflozin 100 mg for in addition to an ongoing triple drug oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) regimen for a period of 12 weeks.

Objectives: Patients with prediabetes are not only at increased risk of progression to type 2 diabetes, but they are also at high risk of developing cardiovascular risk compared to normoglycemic people. Further, prediabetes is also often associated with abnormal lipid levels (dyslipidemia). We therefore aimed to evaluate the effect of Saroglitazar in patients with prediabetes and dyslipidemia.
